Agents using own umbrella scheme

[rocketron]

got a job offer the other day, while talking to the agent they started to say my current umbrella wasn`t compliant, when asked why they could not give me a reason, now I did my home work on the umbrella and i am more than happy with them. The sting in the tail as when they said they had there own scheme they could put me on.

As anyone else had this problem?

They obviously think that due to your lack of intelligence as indicated by your inability to spell that you're a pushover.

Its rubbish to get commission for referral. Had this and insisted on using my own - after a stand-off they backed down. Providing they're a reputable umbrella you should be able to work it out. Worst case they contact umbrella to say they're not dodgy and get assurances etc.

I always make a point of keeping in touch with the recruiter, so that if the agent is messing about, they can tell them to JFDI. Let the agent know you've kept in touch with the client too keeps them from messing you about.

If you can really be arsed and really value having one umbrella cream money over you than another umbrella then contact the client and bump your gums to them.

OR you can always agree but tell them you want another x amount a day.

Or you just can get Ltd.

Thanks for your input guys; I am waiting for them to give me a valid reason

Sounds like sharp practice to me. Name and shame.

I know of one foreign contracting agency that has its own brolly - I wouldn't touch either with Gordon's dongle-barge-pole.
